The gaze is a tool that the architect uses constantly but does not fully value. It is an instrument that, in addition to allowing us to know and recognize our reality and the phenomena that arise from it, can work as a method of analysis. "Entrearcos (Between-arches): architecture of connection" is a research project developed by the architect Daniela Silva Landeros that studies, in the specific case of the Ciutat Vella neighbourhood of the city of Barcelona, the issue of arches in our cities. And Silva Landeros does so from alternative points of view that call into question the way we are used to looking.
The following paragraphs are an extract of a chapter of the master's thesis made from this research. The architect is in charge - through the study of a dozen particular cases of arches taken from the collection that was first made - of creating new terminology adaptable to her reflections and of turning our points of view upside down.
